The best city zoo in London - Battersea Zoo

Last weekend, James, Tom and I went to Battersea Zoo. I had no expectations really - I’m not a zoo connoisseur (having only been to London Zoo and New York’s Central Park Zoo with Tom so far) but I thought this was fantastic.

Cuddle?

You can park almost outside the entrance (drive in to the Chelsea Bridge entrance). Once you are inside, the zoo is all on one level - so easy on pushchairs, easy for small children to walk around, the perfect size - not too wide spread so the children get tired. Lots of thought has been put into the animal cages and how you walk around and view.

Then at the end of the walk there is a perfectly formed children’s playground complete with swings and slides for all ages, sand diggers and a climb on tractor - perfect for little boys!

I now have a new favorite London place to go to with Tom.
